Yeah, I hear you. I know the feeling. Sometimes I even feel left out of the loop when I’m listening to jazz on CD, but when I go to see that same music live I have a different experience. I think a lot of musical genres can reveal themselves live in a way that they can’t on CD. We probably all have the experience of walking through a museum and not feeling anything, and then you see one picture that just captures you, you don’t have to know what the artist did or that they had a good line of light or how they played with shadow - you don’t have to know or understand any of that for it to have an impact and be meaningful. It’s the same with music. It doesn’t hurt to understand it intellectually but you don’t have to for something to speak to you.

~ Esperanza Spalding, in response to an interviewer’s statement, “Some people find jazz a little inaccessible, intimidating even.”

I loved him most
when he came home from work,
his fingers still curled from fitting pipe,
his denim shirt ringed with sweat
and smelling of salt, the drying weeds
of the ocean. I would go to him where he sat
on the edge of the bed, his forehead
anointed with grease, his cracked hands
jammed between his thighs, and unlace
the steel-toed boots, stroke his ankles,
his calves, the pads and bones of his feet.
Then I’d open his clothes and take
the whole day inside me— the ship’s
gray sides, the miles of copper pipe,
the voice of the first man clanging
off the hull’s silver ribs, spark of lead
kissing metal, the clamp, the winch,
the white fire of the torch, the whistle
and the long drive home.
